Just one more reason to buy an iPad
The annual cost to charge an iPad is $1.36, according to the Electric Power Research Institute, a nonprofit research and development group funded by electric utilities.
By comparison, a 60-watt compact fluorescent bulb costs $1.61, a desktop PC adds up to $28.21 and a refrigerator runs you $65.72.
These cost were calculated using the U.S. average residential price of 11.49 cents per kilowatt-hour.
